New Public Pool in Salir Do Porto

The new public swimming pool of Salir do Porto, which is just 2 minutes from the luxurious attached villas of Jardins de Salir, (click here for a special offer direct from the developer), opened to the public on the 1st, August. Open every day from 10 a.m. till 7 p.m until the end of September.

Overlooking beach of Salir do Porto, the pool was built in the area occupied before by a camping site. Now it is one of the centers of growing tourism on the Silver Coast and no doubt it has added value to the village and all the surrounding property.

The investment exceeded €1.2m and the complex includes two swimming pools, one for adults, another for children, showers, toilets, a bar offering ice creams, sandwiches, soft drinks, natural juices, a nice terrace, green areas and also support facilities to serve those visiting the beach.

The good news for residents of Salir do Porto, they have a special entrance price. For non-residents: 1 Day - adult:€9, children:€7 Eur. For residents: 1 Day – adult:€6.50,

children: €4.50.

On the ceremony of inauguration the chairman of Salir do Porto, Luis Abilio, indicated that the main purpose of the pool is a "tourist attraction as well as providing a service for the local population”. “The pool could have a removable cover” said the chairman revealing that the company that is managing the pool, the Orbitur, also is interested in putting the structure if the city guarantees a land for a construction of a quality campsite for caravans and bungalows. According to Luís Abílio speech, the municipality has already acquired “a part of the land”.

The Mayor of Caldas da Rainha Fernando Costa happily revealed that a plot on the North of the pool has been acquired with a purpose to extend the car park. He commented that "it is a high time to invest in Salir do Porto to attract tourism" and spoke about the building of a dam on the river beach of Salir do Porto as a way to retain and increase the water during low tide. Fernando Costa said that it is a “simple work and it is not harmful for the environment”.

It is all happening on the Silver Coast

Lowest taxes in the country

The Mayor of Caldas da Rainha, Fernando Costa, has accepted his nomination as the PSD (centre right) candidate for the local mayoral election and most likely another term in office. Fernando Costa has over 24 years of experience in the position as mayor, one of the longest uninterrupted terms to be served by a mayor on the Silver Coast - Portugal.

This announcement should come as good news to many of his supporters on the Silver Coast. During an interview with the Caldas Gazette he reaffirmed his commitment to low taxes “Caldas will continue to have the lowest taxes in the country and I am committed to reducing them even further.” Silver Coast Property owners will be relieved to hear this, especially those who own properties in the Caldas da Rainha municipal district, which includes the Jardins de Salir development in Salir do Porto, located on the hillside overlooking the bay of São Martinho do Porto and Foz do Arelho or Nadadouro on the shores of the Obidos lagoon.

Should he be re-elected the mayor has affirmed that he will continue with his campaign to:·

Hospital Oeste Norte

- Canvass the central government to locate the new Silver Coast hospital in the Caldas municipal district.·

Thermal Springs

- Restore the Caldas da Rainha, reputation as the leading centre for thermal treatment with the revitalization of the world’s oldest public hospital for thermal treatment.·

Art and Culture

– The mayor plans to increase the budget for Museums and promote cultural tourism to attract more visitors to the region.

The likely re-election of the mayor will mean that the council will continue with its programme to improve its coast line. The pedestrian and cycle track around the Obidos lagoon has been completed in time for the summer and the swimming pool and parking facilities at Salir do Porto should be complete in time for the summer holidays.
